The most helpful thing about this course would be that we have to constantly write in order to get better. When writing essays we also get feedback from peers and it helps get others perspective for your writing. I think I still need the most help in writing introductions and topic sentences. Coming up with ideas is easy, but trying to stretch it out to meet a word count is difficult for me. Being so straight forward I find it unnecessary to constantly stretch out and explain an idea. We did the thesis and topic sentence structure activity in class and that helped a lot with developing the beginning of a paragraph. But I would hope to do an activity that would help me be able to stretch out my topic sentences that way I meet the sentence requirements.
